Nearly $4 billion in loans to bitcoin miners are at risk. It is possible to sell bitcoins to repay loans.

My translation, briefly.

Bitcoin's prolonged downturn is making it difficult for some miners to repay their loans.up to $4 billion that they provided with their equipment, which poses a potential risk for large crypto lenders.

According to analysts, the growing number of loans inis currently under water as the value of many mining rigs accepted as collateral has halved along with the price of the world's largest digital token.

So far, only a few miners have defaultedon its loans, but recent sales are showing signs of distress. Core Scientific Inc. sold over 2,000 bitcoins in May to cover operating expenses. Meanwhile, earlier this month, Bitfarms Ltd. offloaded nearly half of its mined tokens to repay part of its $100 million loan from Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd. She also took out another car-backed loan from New York Digital Investment Group LLC.

Analysts warn that if the situationthe market does not improve, this could be a terrible scenario. The sale of bitcoin reserves is putting further pressure on prices, and equipment values ​​could fall even lower if lenders seeking to recoup their losses in the event of default begin liquidating machines they have repossessed.
